Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

I think we’re more or less what our record says we are, maybe even a bit worse. This is an extremely flawed roster with a couple true superstars and we’ve escaped with narrow wins over some bad teams (and one blowout win over the giants). With the McDaniels firing the team has been playing really hard for Antonio Pierce but at the end of the day, this is still likely a below .500 team. And yet we could have easily beaten the Steelers and Chargers to be at 7 wins.

I mean how many teams are riddled with actual "Superstars"?

We are stacked at WR, have one of the best RBs in the league, have a stud LT in Kolton Miller and Maxx Crosby who is god tier.

I think the team just needs to do a better job of addressing positions of need that they are seemingly allergic too (LB, DT, RG).

That's what infuriates me about this season is that we basically wasted what is one of the softest first halves in a long time. Raiders now have the biggest "turn around" in DVoA of opponents.

I'm not holding my breath for the playoffs but just to see the Chiefs have to actually fucking respect us for once would be nice.
